The Republican Party has, once again, lost my vote. I refuse to vote for the lessor of two evils.
So I’m now paying more attention to Clinton and Obama, and deciding whether to cast my vote in the DNC primary this time around.

This is why I stuff my ears whenever someone tries to use religious arguments (of whatever persuasion) to prove their “scientific” views.
